thread password protected

[Jakor Sevel]

the members on my board want to have a roleplaying "war" and they want to have each side have a password protected thread for planning and such. But I don't want to create password protection forums just for each of their threads, so is there a way to create password protected threads? Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't think it would be too hard. The easiest way would be to have an admin start the thread and password protect it. Would you want the password encrypted or is plaintext ok?

the admin can password protect it? roflmao.

Sorry, but I can't find the option for admin to start and password protect a thread?

I run a website for young girls and want to setup a "help center" for teen problems, but only those with password are allowed to enter.

I used Ikonboard (cgi) before, and here it was easy to set a password for a forum.... how do I do it here?

there's already a hack for password protected forum however one for a specific thread hasn't been made

That's for forums, not threads.

Conceptually, it's easy. However remember all the other places the thread table is referenced, including the search engine.

[Hobbes]

yeah.....i attempted to try to do this, but all i really did was take shaolyen's password protectedforums hack and change every instance of forumto thread.....but Im just pretty darn retarded and that didn't work....lol..

[jarnuts]

Man...I have a MAT (Moderator/ Administrator Thread) on my forums and I only want Mod/Admin to be able to post in it.

So PLEASE if someone can figure out how to make this hack it would be AWESOME!!!!

[Zachery]

there was the hotel hack.

[filburt1]

Simply make important threads in a private forum. There is no simple way to make one thread password protected and guarantee security.

I would also like this request for pretty much the same reason, it really isn't a big thing if others found the password, but I could use it for some cases on my board, but it seems no one is going to do this.

Man, and you even staff here. (:

This would take me a hour or two to put together, and be secure.

[filburt1]

Not necessarily from other hacks. I'm just saying that there are so many places that the thread and post tables are referenced that it would be nearly impossible to completely secure it, especially from hacks that you haven't used and don't know what queries they use. :)

Possiablly, but as the ongoing thing have see on vb.org is "is this possiable" and it is, you can go around it in many different ways... but no matter with what there is always a hole somewhere.
